Travel Tips - Handling that grimy public
bathroom door

Many people face the “restroom door challenge” with
trepidation, not wanting to touch the door but needing to open it.

If you are inside, take a paper towel
and use it to cover your hand when you open the door. (Now you
know why there are so many trash bins located strategically outside
or restrooms.)

If the door is a “push door” and there are no
towels, push it open with your hips or butt.

If it is a “pull door”, there are no towels,
and you are wearing apparel that is long sleeved (e.g. sweatshirt,
jacket, etc.) slip your hand inside the material and use the apparel
as a glove while turning or pulling the handle.

Or, you can do the "door tango" and wait for the person who is
in a rush to open the door for you.

If you have touched the the door or any other
surface in the restroom, you may want to use a hand
sanitizer
afterwards.
